Penn Highlands DuBois has been delivering expert health and wellness care to the Central Pennsylvania region for nearly 125 years. The hospital enjoys a reputation for innovative therapies in state-of-the-art facilities. With convenient locations, compassionate inpatient and outpatient care is available close to home.

The aptly named DuBois (meaning "the woods") is close to miles of forests, making this small town a haven for nature-lovers, hunters, hikers, and anybody seeking the quiet of the outdoors. But DuBois is also home to antiques, inns, country stores, and golf, making it a popular tourist destination. Restaurants and shopping abound. Nearby Driftwood is the ancestral home of a famous area resident - Tom Mix, Hollywood's "King of the Cowboys" in the silent era. The home of the Penn State DuBois campus, the town is accessible by DuBois Regional Airport in Falls Creek.
